Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites Recipe

Introduction

These Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites are a delightful blend of creamy, nutty, and chocolaty flavors. Perfect as a healthy snack or a cool dessert, they’re easy to make and sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat or full-fat, depending on preference)
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter for a variation)
• 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (plus extra for topping, optional)
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate chips)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
2. Step 2: Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, drop the yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming small, bite-sized portions. If desired, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each bite. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are firm.
3. Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
4. Step 4: Working quickly, dip the frozen yogurt bites into the melted chocolate, using a fork or toothpick to help coat them evenly. Place the coated bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Step 5: Return the coated bites to the freezer and freeze for an additional 30 minutes to set the chocolate coating. Once fully frozen, the Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites are ready to enjoy! Serve these cool, creamy treats as a healthy snack or dessert.

Tips & Variations

• For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and use almond butter instead of peanut butter.
• Add a pinch of sea salt on top of each bite before freezing for a salty-sweet flavor contrast.
• If you prefer, use white chocolate chips or sprinkle crushed nuts on the coating for extra texture.

Storage

Store these frozen bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When ready to enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving. Avoid thawing completely to keep the chocolate coating intact.

FAQs

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?

While you can use flavored Greek yogurt, plain is recommended to balance the sweetness and flavors. Flavored yogurt might make the bites too sweet or alter the taste.

How do I prevent the chocolate coating from melting too quickly?

Make sure the yogurt bites are fully frozen before dipping in chocolate. Working quickly when coating and refreezing immediately helps the chocolate set firmly and prevents melting.

Yogurt Mixture

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat or full-fat, depending on preference)
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter for a variation)
• 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (plus extra for topping, optional)

Chocolate Coating

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet chocolate chips)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)

Instructions

1. Prepare the yogurt mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
2. Form the bites and freeze: Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, drop the yogurt mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, creating small, bite-sized portions. Optionally, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each bite. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are completely firm.
3. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil if using. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. This ensures a perfect coating.
4. Coat the frozen bites: Working quickly, dip each frozen yogurt bite into the melted chocolate, using a fork or toothpick to coat them evenly. Transfer the chocolate-coated bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Final freeze: Return the coated bites to the freezer and freeze for an additional 30 minutes. This allows the chocolate coating to set properly, creating a crisp outer shell. Once fully frozen, your Frozen Greek Yogurt Peanut Butter Bites are ready to enjoy.

Notes

• Use nonfat or full-fat Greek yogurt based on your preference for creaminess and fat content.
• For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and use a plant-based yogurt and dairy-free chocolate chips.
• Adding coconut oil to the chocolate helps with smooth melting and a shiny coating but is optional.
• Store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain freshness.
• Serve immediately after removing from the freezer to enjoy the perfect texture.
